[blparent] Carriers?

[Brandy W]

I've heard the Butterfly and the Ergo can go on your hip. I'm really not
sure how people find it comfortable, but somehow they lace around you and
under your other arm and such, but since I need an arm for a cane as most of
us do for cane or dog I've never found it comfortable to have a child on my
hip. It throws me off. However I've seen many sighted mothers love it and
say that after doing it a few times they got the hang of it and love it.

plus, the way the straps work, I have no clue how you'd comfortably fasten
them.
